Gov. Mark Dayton will be on a mysterious quest for Minnesota jobs on Wednesday.

"Tomorrow, Governor Dayton, Employment and Economic Development Commissioner Katie Clark Sieben, and a DEED staff member will be traveling out of state for a meeting regarding a possible economic development opportunity for Minnesota. The Governor will leave by commercial flight tomorrow morning and return home tomorrow afternoon," his office said of the trip late Tuesday.

Asked if he could provide more information about the travels, Dayton spokesman Matt Swenson said, "I can't. That was all we could release."

Swenson said he did not know if the "economic development opportunity" would involve a public subsidy.
